[Opensim-users] Anyone recognise versanet.de or 94.135.203.122

Fri Jan 23 00:37:08 UTC 2015

Oh, that's a clever idea – that's the old Concierge service. It's a web service, so OpenSim calls an URL remotely with some data (namely, the avatar name of someone who just arrived). This is configured on OpenSim.ini. That said, the Concierge web service is little documented and a bit tricky to parse (it's been years since I last tried to hack into it!), but it might be a solution...

Wouldn't that require an active scanner of some sort that would chew up CPU, constantly looking for someone nearby? If so, then a simple blind check, once an hour, would be less costly, yes? If not, then perhaps it's something I should consider adding to mine.

But if many people are using a copy of your teleporter or my gate and have them configured to, say, a popular grid,                                then they will of course, see a lot more than 24 a day. Or maybe there's someone out there who made a device that checks more often than ours ...

However, I think the majority of it (in addition to the ~80 gates to other grids) is likely to be the "roller-coaster" I have set up in that region ... I have 100 Blamgates, laying horizontally, up in the sky. There is a gate on the ground, that rezzes you just above the first of them, and you fall into it. Then it sends you to just above the next one, and so on, until you get to the last gate which puts you back where you started. It's quite a wild ride that lasts for about a minute. :) Anyway, all of them are of the "check the destination" type of gate, so I imagine I'm doing most of it to myself. :) Oh, if you ever want to try the roller-coaster, look for the gate labelled "101", in Eld2. :)
